About Claude

Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant, with a consumer product at claude.ai (chat, Projects, Artifacts, Computer Use) and a developer API at api.anthropic.com used by Cursor, Zed, Raycast, and thousands of LLM-powered apps. Claude Code, Anthropic's terminal/IDE agent, runs against the same API. Outages show up as chat responses failing mid-stream, Artifacts not rendering, Projects losing context between turns, or the API returning 529 "overloaded" errors. Different model tiers (Opus, Sonnet, Haiku) can be affected independently, a Sonnet outage may leave Opus healthy and vice versa. Claude-powered agents hit rate-limit surges first during any capacity incident.

The official Claude status page is at status.anthropic.com. However, official status pages are often updated manually and can lag behind real outages by minutes or even hours. Independent monitoring catches issues faster.

Where is the official Claude status page?+

What is a 529 error from the Claude API?+

HTTP 529 is "Overloaded", meaning Claude is temporarily rate-limiting due to capacity. It is not an outage in the full sense; individual requests fail but the service is alive. Retry with exponential backoff, or fall back to a different model tier.

Does a Claude.ai outage affect Claude Code?+

The consumer claude.ai web app and Claude Code are separate clients but call the same Anthropic API. A pure UI outage on claude.ai leaves Claude Code working; an API-side outage breaks both.
